About me und my profession

I studied from 1962 to 1967 geology at the Humboldt University in Berlin and graduated with a diploma. According to the topic of my diploma thesis, I have specialized in paleontology. Professionally, I have continued this specialization. Due to disagreements with the political system in East Germany (former GDR) at the time, I had to change my job after 10 years. The paleontologist became hydrogeologist (with experience in flow simulation).

Special interests: Geology and paleontology of the Sahara

Parallel interest: Rocket technology

My strength: Analytics

Many foraminifera, photographed and determined, in thin sections from drilling cores in limestone-deposits of Lower Carboniferous (German Baltic Sea coast).

Not published scripts, because at this time officially classified as secret material.

In February 2019, the entire material was handed over to the Institute of Geology and Mineralogy of the University of Cologne (Prof. Dr. H.-G. Herbig).

Note: Where the numerous thin sections to the samples are archived today, I do not know.
